Samsung Electronics is trying to expand its presence in the high-priced gaming monitor market by collaborating with esports superstar Lee Faker Sang-hyeok, and its gaming monitor brand Odyssey in China, the company said Monday.
While Samsung did not disclose detailed performance by business unit, industry experts estimate that the semiconductor business generated an operating profit of over 1.2 trillion won, marking a turnaround after five consecutive quarters of losses. This is attributed to the reduction in memory semiconductor production and the stronger-than-expected rise in chip prices.
